Research Study

We are conducting a research study using a countywide health survey of adolescents 14–19 years old. The Healthy Allegheny Teen Survey, or HATS for short, is a research study being conducted jointly by the Allegheny County Health Department, Pitt Public Health, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, and several local foundations. HATS is voluntary. Participants are randomly selected and receive a $20 gift card in the mail after completing the survey. Information collected is confidential and will help the Allegheny County Health Department and local health organizations better serve youth in our communities. Click here for more information.
